But before all that, he arrived in Canada at Pier 21 as a boy with his brother and parents on their way to a new life in Montreal. We look forward to hearing more about John’s immigration story and his thoughts on the role immigration continues to play on Canada’s economy, culture and way of life.

Fascinating Canadian Speaker Series

Taking place annually in Toronto and in Halifax, Fascinating Canadian events are the Museum’s signature fundraisers. Leaders and experts speak about their relationship to immigration and the important contribution it makes to our economy, culture, and way of life. Funds raised support exhibitions, educational programs, family history research, and our vast story collection.
